Aviva Foundation - Financial Futures Fund
Details
The Financial Futures Fund works in partnership with organisations across the UK to improve financial resilience. Their purpose is to fund long-term solutions that help people feel more secure, confident, and in control of their financial future.
They invest in programmes and projects that:
- Build financial confidence and capability – helping people manage their money and plan ahead.
- Improve access to fair, affordable, and inclusive financial services – such as savings, protection, and pensions.
- Support people through financial shocks and hardship – including access to essentials and opportunities to build savings.
- Address systemic issues – such as debt, housing insecurity, and digital exclusion, which can undermine financial resilience.
Their funding priorities look for organisations and initiatives that are:
- Transformational – aiming for long-term, sustainable change in financial resilience.
- Impact-driven – focussed on measuring and demonstrating the difference they make.
- Inclusive – supporting people and communities with low financial resilience, especially those facing inequality or discrimination.
- Community-rooted – working closely with communities and embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything they do.
- Learning-focussed – committed to sharing insights and influencing wider change.
